# AI Summaries

> CallVault automatically generates a summary, action items, and key topics for every call — no notes required.

After every call is transcribed, CallVault runs it through an AI analysis pipeline to generate a structured summary. The goal: let you understand what happened in a call without listening to the whole thing.

## What the AI generates

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Summary" icon="align-left">
    A 2–4 paragraph overview of the call — what was discussed, key decisions, and context. Written in plain language.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Action items" icon="list-check">
    Specific next steps and commitments mentioned during the call. Each action item includes who it's assigned to (when clear from the conversation) and what needs to happen.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Key topics" icon="tags">
    A list of the main subjects covered in the call — useful for quick scanning and for understanding what calls are about without reading the full summary.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Highlights" icon="star">
    Standout moments from the call — notable quotes, decisions made, or important questions raised.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Where to find the AI summary

Open any call. The AI summary panel is on the right side of the call detail view, alongside the transcript. You'll see:

1. **Summary** at the top — the narrative overview
2. **Action items** listed below with any assignee information
3. **Key topics** as a tag-like list
4. **Highlights** as quoted excerpts with transcript links

Click any action item or highlight to jump to the corresponding moment in the transcript.

## Summary availability

AI summaries are generated automatically after transcription completes. For most calls, the summary is ready within a minute or two of the transcript being available.

<Note>
  If a call is very short (under 2 minutes) or has unclear audio, the AI may generate a minimal summary or indicate that there wasn't enough content to summarize meaningfully.
</Note>

## How accurate are the summaries?

AI summaries are generally accurate for clear, focused conversations, but they can miss nuance or make mistakes on:

* Calls with heavy technical jargon or domain-specific terminology
* Conversations with significant crosstalk or poor audio quality
* Calls in languages other than English

Always verify action items against the transcript before acting on them — especially for high-stakes commitments.

## Using summaries for coaching and review

AI summaries are particularly useful for:

* **Managers reviewing rep calls** — scan 10 summaries in the time it takes to listen to one call
* **Onboarding new team members** — point them to calls with good summaries to get up to speed on accounts
* **Async collaboration** — share a call link and the recipient can read the summary before deciding whether to watch the recording

## Regenerating a summary

If transcription was re-run or the transcript was corrected, you can regenerate the AI summary:

1. Open the call
2. Click the **⋯** menu in the summary panel
3. Select **Regenerate summary**

This will replace the existing summary within a few minutes.
